Depending on how the 44x processors are wired, some EMAC cells
might not be useable (and not connected to a PHY). However, some
device-trees may choose to still expose them (since their registers
are present in the MMIO space) but with an "unused" property in them.

It occurred to me the other day. Instead of using a new "unused"
property for this, should we be using the OF standard "status"
property.

Dunno... it's really not wired. Probably not even clocked.

status = "fail-notconnected"; ?
